Answer:

Gravity and

Air resistance

Explanation:

The two forces acting on a skydiver are gravitational force and air resistance.

Gravitational force is a force that tends to pull all massive bodies towards the center of the earth. It works on all bodies that has mass. The larger or bigger the mass, the more the pull of gravity on the body.

Air resistance is the drag of air on a body as it passes to it. It is resisting force.

  • When a sky diver jumps out of a plane, he/she encounters both gravity and air resistance.
  • It soon balances both force and attain terminal velocity.
  • Air resistance is a frictional force that opposes motion.
  • This frictional force pushes in the opposite direction of motion
  • Motion direction is downward due to the celerity caused by gravity.

How many pounds of meat does a cougar eat per day
Luba_88 [7]
A large male cougar living in the Cascade Mountains kills a deer or elk every 9 to 12 days, eating up to 20 pounds at a time and burying the rest for later.Except for females with young, cougars are lone hunters that wander between places frequented by their prey, covering as much as 15 miles in a single night.Cougars rely on short bursts of speed to ambush their prey. A cougar may stalk an animal for an hour or more 

hope this helps in any way ! :)

What are the main activities involved in studying physics?
Firlakuza [10]
The main activity that is involved in studying of physics is the study of natural laws. The study of physics has to do with many aspects of the universe. Physics majorly looks into the natural laws that operate in the universe and describe how they affect matter in relation to time.

A 50-g cube of ice, initially at 0.0°C, is dropped into 200 g of water in an 80-g aluminum container, both initially at 30°C.
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

b. 9.5°C

Explanation:

m_i = Mass of ice = 50 g

T_i = Initial temperature of water and Aluminum = 30°C

L_f = Latent heat of fusion = 3.33\times 10^5\ J/kg^{\circ}C

m_w = Mass of water = 200 g

c_w = Specific heat of water = 4186 J/kg⋅°C

m_{Al} = Mass of Aluminum = 80 g

c_{Al} = Specific heat of Aluminum = 900 J/kg⋅°C

The equation of the system's heat exchange is given by

m_i(L_f+c_wT)+m_wc_w(T-T_i)+m_{Al}c_{Al}=0\\\Rightarrow 0.05\times (3.33\times 10^5+4186\times T)+0.2\times 4186(T-30)+0.08\times 900(T-30)=0\\\Rightarrow 1118.5T-10626=0\\\Rightarrow T=\dfrac{10626}{1118.5}\\\Rightarrow T=9.50022\ ^{\circ}C

The final equilibrium temperature is 9.50022°C

a spaceship, at rest in a certain reference frame s, is given a speed increment of 0.500c. it is then given a further 0.500c inc
bezimeni [28]

In order to give a spaceship at rest in a specific reference frame s a speed increment of 0.500c, seven increments are required. Then, in this new frame, it receives an additional 0.500c increment.

The speed of an object, also known as v in kinematics, is a scalar quantity that refers to the size of the change in that object's position over time or the size of the change in that object's position per unit of time. The distance travelled by an object in a certain period of time divided by the length of the period gives the object's average speed in that period.

The spacecraft moves at v1 = 0.5c after the initial increment.The equation becomes V2 = V+V1/1+V*V1/c after the second one. 2 V2 = 0.5c+0.50c/1+(0.50c)^2/c^ 2 = 0.80c

Likewise, V3 = 0.929c

V4 = 0.976c

V5 = 0.992c

V6 = 0.99c

V7 = 0.999c

A student standing on a knoll throws a snowball horizontally 4.5 meters above the level ground toward a smokestack 15 meters awa
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

2.4 m

Explanation:

Consider the motion along the vertical direction

y_{o} = initial position of ball above the ground = 4.5 m

t = time taken by the ball to hit the smokestack = 0.65 s

v_{oy} = initial velocity of the ball along vertical direction

a_{y} = acceleration due to gravity = - 9.8 m/s²

y = position of ball at the time of hitting the smokestack

Using the kinematics equation

y = y_{o} + v_{oy} t + (0.5) a_{y} t^{2}

inserting the above values

y = 4.5 + (0) (0.65) + (0.5) (- 9.8) (0.65)^{2} \\y = 2.4 m
